    controller. Three spacers installed on the back of the junction box control the distance of the junction box from a mounting surface and ensure that there is enough room to install a calibration cup on the detector during calibration. A terminal block within the junction box facilitates the wiring connections.

    11. Reinstall the junction box cover. Start Up This section describes procedures to start up the toxic detector and place the detector into normal operation. Introducing Incoming Power 1. Complete the installation procedures described earlier in this manual. 2. Verify that the power wiring to the controller is correct and secure. Refer to the controller operator’s manual.

    15. 5. If the calibration/response difficulties continue, replace the plug-in sensor as described later in this section. 6. If the calibration/response difficulties continue, contact RKI Instruments, Inc. for further instruction. Replacing Components of the Toxic Detector This section includes a procedure to replace the plug-in toxic sensor, the VersaporR membrane, and the entire toxic detector assembly.
  • Page 15 WARNING: The toxic sensor will not operate properly if the wire jumper is not removed. Remove jumper Figure 5: Plug-In Sensor Jumper Removal 6. Carefully plug the replacement sensor into the four-socket pattern located in the detector housing body. WARNING: You must replace the plug-in sensor with the same type of sensor that is installed.
  • Page 16 8. Plug the sensor back into the four-socket pattern in the detector housing body. 9. Make sure the cap gasket is in place and screw the detector housing cap back onto the detector housing body. 10. Turn on power to the controller. 11.
  • Page 17: Calibration Frequency

    Although there is no particular calibration frequency that is correct for all applications, a calibration frequency of every 3 months is adequate for most toxic detector applications. Unless experience in a particular application dictates otherwise, RKI Instruments, Inc. recommends a calibration frequency of every 3 months for the toxic detector.
  • Page 18: Calibration

    RKI Instruments, Inc. recommends using a ClO generator to set the ClO detector’s response reading. The flow rate on the generator needs to be set to 0.5 LPM and RKI Instruments, Inc. recommends that 0.5 ppm ClO be used. If a ClO generator is used for calibration, the steps related to the use of a calibration gas cylinder in the instructions below can be disregarded.
  • Page 19: Setting The Zero (Fresh Air) Reading

    Setting the Zero (Fresh Air) Reading 1. Follow the instructions in the controller operator’s manual for setting the zero reading. 2. When the instructions call for applying zero air to the detector, turn the regulator’s on/off knob counterclockwise to open it. Gas will begin to flow. 3.
  • Page 20: Returning To Normal Operation

    Returning to Normal Operation 1. Allow about 45 seconds for the gas reading to decrease below the alarm points and then return the controller to normal operation. NOTE: If you do not allow the gas reading to decrease below the alarm points, then unwanted alarms may occur.
